Need for Speed High Stakes menu simulator

[paulel]

Made a "just for fun" (to see if i could do it) program that simulates the menu of Need for Speed High Stakes PC version.

Copy the files in the ZIP to the folder where you have QB64.

When you click "Race" the program will attempt to launch an MP4 with the same name as the track you have selected.
Put your version of the video for the track into the "tracks-MP4s" folder.
This is optional. If no video for the track exists nothing will happen when you click "Race".

Anyway, let me know if you find this...amusing?
I have made one for NFS Hot Pursuit 2. 
Waiting to see if anyone finds this NFS HS sim "fun".

I get a bunch of error messages. I compiled the BAS and put it in the same folder as the files. I also unpacked all the files to the QB64 folder. Also didn't work.

It can't find this file:

  list$ = "\temp\NFSHSsimCars.tmp"

Neat but why did you write your own .bmp loader when _LOADIMAGE can do this?

Also your code using "\" hard-coded directory separation characters will not work in Linux or MacOS.

There are things you can do to fix this that are easily implemented.

If I have some time later I'll do a video review of this and see if I can get it working in Linux, but right now I manually replaced the "\* and *\" with "/ and /" and the program isn't compiling:

I'd like to check it out because it looks cool and I'm interested to help and share some tips but it doesn't compile at this moment.

With no changes to the slashes it still won't compile:
